The Quyth Irradiated Conference standings saw a major shakeup this week. The Ionath Krakens (4-2) crawled another thin notch higher in the standings with a 35-31 upset win over Orbiting Death (4-2). The Krakens continue to show no continuity at quarterback, as this week veteran Donald Pine was ineffective while rookie backup Quentin Barnes led the team to a come-from-behind win.

The Whitok Pioneers (4-2) seemed to be walking away with the conference title, but without star quarterback Condor Adrienne they lost their second straight game, this time 24-8 to the Grontak Hydras (3-3).

First place now belongs solely to the Glory Warpigs (5-1), who thrashed the Woo Wallcrawlers (1-5) by a score of 35-3.

The Sheb Stalkers (4-2) remained in contention with a key 17-14 win over the Bigg Diggers (2-4). Arkham, All-Pro cornerback for the Diggers, notched her tenth and eleventh interceptions of the season. She leads the Quyth Irradiated in interceptions for the season, well ahead of the Warpigs' Toyonaka, who has eight picks so far this year.

Sky Demolition (0-6) still can’t find a win, this time losing 32-10 to the Quyth Survivors (3-3).

Next Week Preview Just who the heck is going to start for the Krakens? Ionath (4-2) can move one step closer to an improbable-but-possible outright Irradiated conference title with a win over the struggling Bigg Diggers (2-4). After Don Pine's lackluster performance, Quentin Barnes may get the start at QB.

Despite the poor record, Digger's runningback Kraga the Big-Handed is looking for a breakout season. He is the first Quyth Warrior to start at runningback in four seasons, and is having a banner year with the Digger's punnishing ground game. Considering how Ju Tweedy ran all over the Krakens last week, it could be a big day for Kraga.
